The week-long neck and neck fight for the ticket to finale turned out to be a damp squib on Thursday (January 4) as no one won the jackpot. The fight between the celebrities and the commoners came to a flickering end but not before Shilpa Shinde broke down and the commoners laughed at her expense. Finally, the narrative tilted in favour of the celebrities.
Luv, Puneesh win BB Mount task
The bond between the comers worked well in the BB Mount task helping Luv Tyagi and Puneesh Sharma emerge as winners. However, another hurdle was put in their way with the condition that they would get the ticket only if they overcome the new obstacle.
The other task had the living area of the house converted into a museum with valuables worth Rs 25 lakh. Both Luv and Puneesh were supposed to steal articles worth Rs 13 lakh each and the housemates were supposed to guard the valuables. The catch was in the fact that the entire money was to get added to the prize money if the thieves failed to steal anything. While the entire money did get added to the prize money, nobody got the ticket they fought so hard for.
Why Shilpa broke down
An uneasy calm pervaded the house with Vikas Gupta lying silently on his bed citing illness and Shilpa lying on the slab of the dressing room, shedding tears. It came to the fore later that the way Puneesh, Akash and Luv ganged up against the celebrities of the house, hurt Shinde. "No such divide existed till the 13th week. Nobody ever carried any celebrity baggage after entering this house. Everybody was on the same level. Instead, I supported you and Akash. What Luv did to Hina was equally hurtful as Hina always supported Luv. After all these weeks, everybody is a celebrity," Shilpa told Puneesh.
Hearing this Puneesh apologised to Shilpa, which irked Akash and Luv, who considered the celeb-commoner divide a part of the game.
Is it a plot to eliminate Luv?
Bigg Boss cancelling the Ticket to Finale task was seen by many as a plot to weaken the commoners group. Luv is nominated this week for elimination along with Shilpa, Hina and Vikas. All of them have a stronghold in the television industry. There are greater chances for Luv to get evicted. But his performance was the best this week and he could have won the ticket, had Bigg Boss not placed the hurdle of a new task in front of him.
@BiggBoss #LuvTyagi is been cheated by #BiggBoss11 #BiggBoss and by the makers we all know . Coz vikas personally knows them . Poor job ????

Vikas asserts he looks good
The Vikas-Shilpa love-hate saga still amuses the viewers. And since this is the 14th week, the time when Vikas would leave the house according to Shilpa, the tussle has intensified. "Shilpa says I will not get enough votes because I don't look good. Luv looks good and will get votes from girls. Do I look bad?" he asked Akash, who chose not to answer the question though.
Fans go crazy over mall task
Shilpa, Vikas, Hina, Luv visited a mall on Thursday for live voting, which will decide this week's nomination. While the scenes might be telecast during the Friday episode or during the weekend, fans thronged the mall for voting.
